MANUAL OVERVIEWThis product is a combination of previous gas tuners sold by Bully Dog. To make a more expedient product for our dealers and a more efficient product for end users, we have combined all previous gas tuners into one amazing unit. Since particular tuners support a wider feature set but are for the most part the same in operation, make sure that as you go through this instruction manual, you READ CAREFULLY the sections that are intended for you when directed to do so.

Example: when you get to the physical install, follow the section devoted to your vehicle make whether it is Toyota®, Jeep® or other.

There are a few different sections in this manual that are different according to the make of the vehicle you are tuning. You will see directions and headings guiding you to the appropriate section when this is the case.

Driving Coach Setup The Driving Coach is a special feature designed to be your fuel economy dashboard and information center. It provides real-time visual and audio feedback about driving efficiency and where energy is being lost. The driving coach will help you understand the optimal conditions for your particular vehicle through real-time observation, giving you the power to maximize your vehicle’s fuel economy.

Two hidden bonuses of driving more efficiently are: saving money on fuel and helping the environment!

Before the Driving Coach can give you accurate information, it is important to make sure that the GT Platinum is showing the correct speed. In the sections below, you will find specific instructions for using the Driving Coach to become the best driver you can be.

Set Economy GoalThis option will allow you to select a fuel economy goal. The Driving Coach will use the economy goal to calculate your driving grade.

It is very important to select an economy goal that is realistic for both your vehicle and the kind of driving you will be doing. If you will be driving mainly in the city or on the highway, choose a goal that is very close to the advertised fuel efficiency for your vehicle in that type of environment. If you will be doing a mixture, choose an economy goal between the advertised city and highway mileage for your car.

Reset Average EconomyThis option will clear the values stored in the GT Platinum for the average fuel economy, the number of gallons used, and the grade in the Driving Coach.

Adjust AccelerationThis option will allow you to select the GT Platinum sensitivity for the acceleration and deceleration in the Driving Coach; this affects the driving grade assigned by the Driving Coach.

Coach Sound SetupThis option will allow you to turn the Driving Coach sounds on or off.

Showing/Hiding the Driving CoachThe driving coach is always running, even if you choose not to have the information displayed. You can show or hide the driving coach on the Main Display by holding one of the four bottom left buttons until the display cycles through to the gauge style that you want.

40417 GT PLATINUM

Driving Coach Setup (continued) Checking Speedometer Accuracy

First: Change the Gauge Setup to have the Speed displayed on the main display screen. See page 8 for more information about changing the information displayed on the main display screen.

Next: Go to a safe place with little to no traffic where you can perform a speed test. Make sure the speed limit is at least 60 mph. Here are two different ways to find out your vehicle’s actual speed:

Method 1: GPS1. Use a GPS device to compare your actual speed and the speed displayed on the Bully Dog.

2. Calculate the Percent Difference by using this formula:

Method 2: Stopwatch 1. Use a Stop Watch to measure how long it takes to travel one mile while traveling at 60 mph according to the GT Platinum.

Accelerate up to a speed of 60 mph (as shown on the GT Platinum)While traveling at that constant speed, record the amount of time in seconds that it takes to travel exactly one mile.*Use highway mile markers to ensure that your one mile measurement is correct.

2. Record the time.

3. Calculate the Percent Difference.

If it takes 60 seconds to travel one mile at 60 mph, then the GT Platinum is ac-curately reading your vehicle speed.

If it takes 2 seconds more or less than 60 seconds to travel one mile, then use the formula to the right to calculate the Percent Difference.

Once you have calculated the Percent Differ-ence, you can use that information to adjust the speed display as described below

Adjusting the Speed Display1. Use one of the methods described in the previous section to determine the exact percentage difference between the GT Platinum and your actual

speed.

2. Choose the opposite percentage in the Adjust Speed Display menu.

For example, if the difference between your actual speed and the speed displayed on the GT Platinum was 5%, you should choose -5% (negative five percent).

To calculate the percent difference use this formula:

Recorded Time - 60 seconds

60 seconds

Example 1: Using a stop watch the actual time it took to drive one mile while traveling at 60 mph according to the GT Platinum was 63 seconds.

Driving Coach Setup (continued) Checking Average Fuel Economy

It is important to check the accuracy of the average economy readout on the GT Platinum at least once every changing season. There are many reasons to check and adjust the average fuel economy, here is one example: The fuel delivered to gas stations during the winter contains an average of 1.3% less energy than the fuel delivered in warmer seasons. That means that the same amount of liquid is going into the tank, but it is 1.3% less effective, on average. There are many similar factors that affect your fuel efficiency that you cannot control and the GT Platinum cannot sense or adjust for. That is why it is important to adjust the fuel economy of the GT Platinum every once in a while.

To adjust the Average Fuel Economy displayed by the GT Platinum, follow these steps:1. Go to the gas station and get a full tank of gas.

2. Reset both of the following gauges before driving away from the gas station:- The Average Economy on your GT Platinum.

- The trip odometer on your vehicle.

4. Drive the vehicle for an entire tank (or two)5. Calculate your vehicle’s average fuel economy by hand using the following equation:

6. Use the equation below to calculate the Percent Difference between the average fuel economy that you have calculated and the average fuel economy that is displayed by your GT Platinum.

Adjust the Average Fuel EconomyFollow the steps listed below to change the average fuel economy that is displayed by the GT Platinum:

1. Go to the Main Menu2. Choose Vehicle Setup3. Choose Adjust Economy Display4. Use the buttons on the right to move up and down the percentages5. Choose a percent value that is the opposite sign of the Percent Difference that you calculated using the equation above.

- For example, if you determine that the Percent Difference is 14%, you should choose -14%.

• NOTE: If the speedometer on the vehicle is not accurate, then the odometer will also be incorrect. You will need to be able to calculate the exact number of miles driven

before your next refill.

Diagnostics This option reads the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) from your vehicle engine. You can also search for more information about DTC codes online using your favorite search engine.

Show Settings The Show Settings screen will show you information about your vehicle, the GT Platinum, and your current vehicle settings. This screen will also indicate if the GT Platinum tune is currently installed or not installed on a vehicle.

Uninstall GT This option will allow you to uninstall the tune from your vehicle and return it to stock settings.

Update GT Software This option will update the software on the GT Platinum itself from the files on the Micro SD card. This is an important final step to the update process.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Most DTCs indicate a problem with the engine, not with the tune or the tuner itself. If you want to know if a DTC is being caused by the GT Platinum or not, uninstall the tune and drive your vehicle for about one week. If the DTC comes back, there is a problem with the vehicle and you should take it to a trusted mechanic. If the DTC doesn’t come back, reinstall the tune and test drive for another week – if the DTC comes back while the tune is reinstalled, contact technical support. Be sure to have your tuner, vehicle, and a computer with internet access available when contacting technical support.

UPDATING THE GT PLATINUMOVERVIEW

FAQs about Updating

Why do I have to update my GT Platinum? Because it’s very important! These are just some of the reasons:

1. Vehicle manufacturers regularly change the part numbers and other information that the GT Platinum needs to know in order to communicate effectively with your engine computer. If the GT Platinum doesn’t have updated information, it may not work correctly with your vehicle. Bully Dog releases updates when necessary to keep up with any changes that vehicle manufacturers make and give our customers the best support possible.

2. Our technical support team gathers information about any problems experienced by customers and works with the engineers to fix them as soon as possible. If these fixes can help other people avoid similar problems, our engineers include them in the updates that we release for everybody. One of the most important troubleshooting steps we take when someone encounters a problem is to make sure they have the most recently released software version. This often immediately fixes the problem!

3. Bully Dog engineers are constantly working to expand the features and vehicles that the GT Platinum is able to support. Once a new vehicle or option is unlocked, they make sure it is available to everyone by including it in the updated software version.

Do I have to update my brand new GT Platinum? Yes! There is no way to know how long your particular GT Platinum may have been waiting on the shelf for you.

How often should I update? Updates are released regularly, so you should check for them at least four times a year. A good rule of thumb is to check once every three months.

It is also a good idea to update the GT Platinum if you have uninstalled the tune for any reason, like taking your vehicle in for service. This will help you avoid any problems during the reinstall if the engine computer has been flashed and has new part numbers (this is very common, even for a routine vehicle service).

What is included in updates? Updated part numbers and other information from vehicle manufacturers, tested fixes for problems customers may encounter, and any additional features or vehicles that our engineers have unlocked.

How can I tell which software version I currently have? 1. Go to the Main Menu.

2. Choose the Show Settings option.

The software version is listed under System Info, next to Version. It is labeled Software.

How can I use the Update Agent to check for updates? Start the Update Agent application and connect the Micro SD card to your computer using the card reader that came with your GT Platinum. The Update Agent should automatically recognize the Bully Dog device, check the current software, and let you know

We strongly recommend that users select their vehicle (if exact vehicle is unavailable, then select a similar one) BEFORE updat-ing with the Update Agent.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATIONBe sure to check the list and description of included parts in the "Parts List" section of this manual.

Brief Preview This is a quick list of the basic installation steps. You can find more specific information about each step in the next section.

1. Connect the OBDII adapter plug to the port under the dash.

2. Plug in the power cable to the fuse box and connect it to the adapter plug.

3. Run the HDMI cable under the dash.

4. Mount and connect the GT Platinum.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

Detailed Instructions 1. Connect The OBDII Adapter Plug to the OBDII Port. • Find the OBDII port in your vehicle. As shown in the illustration, the specific location of the port can vary between different vehicles, but it is always

somewhere under the driver’s side dash. The OBDII port will have the same shape as the end of the adapter plug.• Once you have found the port, simply connect the adapter

plug to it.

2. Connect The Power Cable. The power cable is not really optional if you want to enjoy the originally designed functions of the GT Platinum. It is only optional under one of the following circumstances:

You do not want to keep the GT Platinum permanently installed and plan on disconnecting it when you are not actively using the unit.

You want the GT Platinum to remain on at all times, regardless of the effect that this could have on your car battery

You prefer physically switching the GT Platinum on and off and do not want it to automatically power down when you turn the key to the off position.

Otherwise, in order for the GT Platinum to work as originally designed, it is very important for the power cable to be installed as described below:

1. Locate an ignition fuse.

• An ignition fuse is one that is controlled by the position of the key.

• Sometimes we call this a “key-on” or “key-off” fuse.

• The fuse that controls the front windshield wiper is usually perfect, but any fuse that turns off when the key is turned off will work just fine.

• Every vehicle is different. There is no way to provide wiring diagrams for all vehicles. You will be able to find the information for your vehicle in the owner’s manual or online.

• Some vehicles have a fuse box inside the cab. If your vehicle does not have a fuse box inside the cab, you will need to locate the fire wall and connect the power cable to the fuse box under the hood.

2. Connect the power cable to the fuse.

• You may have received a fuse tap with your GT Platinum. See below for an illustration and instructions on using the fuse tap to install the power cable.

• You can also simply put the power cable into the fuse box along with the fuse that is normally installed in that location. See the diagram and picture for more information.

• If you did not receive a fuse tap, but prefer to use one to install your power cable, you can purchase one at your local auto parts store. Be sure to ask for installation instructions if none are included with the fuse tap.

Using the Fuse Tap and Spade

1. Find and pull the fuse that you are going to use to insert the GT PlatinumPower Cable.

2. Slip the fuse tap over the prong on the fuse.

3. Fit the spade over the fuse tap and crimp them together with pliers.

4. Put the tapped fuse back into the fuse box.

Detailed Instructions (Continued) 3. Run the HDMI cable under the dash.

This step helps you install the HDMI cable in a way that is discreet, stylish, and that helps to protect the GT Platinum1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the port on the OBDII adapter plug.2. Run the middle of the cable up through the dash on the driver’s side so that the end of the cable comes out near the A-pillar.

• It may be necessary to temporarily remove the weather stripping and dash panel to successfully hide the HDMI cable under the dash.

3. Make sure that there is enough slack in the cable to connect the GT Platinum when it is in the mount.

4. Connect and Mount the GT Platinum1. Install the mount that you have chosen. If you are using the Universal Windshield Mount included with the GT Platinum, see the installation

instructions in the next section.

2. Connect the HDMI cable to the GT Platinum.

3. Secure the GT Platinum to the mount.

Using the Universal Windshield Mount

1. Locate the T-shaped socket on the back of the GT Platinum.

2. Place the square top of the Universal Windshield Mount into the square part of the T-shaped socket on the GT Platinum.

3. Slide to the left to secure the GT Platinum to the mount.

4. Place the suction cup against the windshield and use the lever to secure the mount to the windshield.

ADDITIONAL MOUNTING OPTIONSBully Dog has created alternative mounting solutions which will allow you to mount your GT Platinum in even more convenient locations.

RAM Mirror-Mate Part Numbers: 31600 and 33600

The RAM Mirror-Mate mounting kit will allow you to mount your GT Platinum directly beneath your rearview mirror. This heavy-duty mounting solution provides easy and intuitive access to your GT Platinum without blocking the driver’s view.

RAM Suction Cup Mounting Kit Part Number: 30600

This kit is the best suction cup mount on the market. The amazing holding power will allow you to mount your GT Platinum to multiple surface materials in any vehicle – which means that you can try different places and find the best place for your GT Platinum to be at any time.

Pillar Mount Gauge Pods Bully Dog also offers gauge pods, which will allow you to mount the GT Plati-num on the pillar of your vehicle.

The gauge pods are vehicle specific, so you will need to get the part number that matches your vehicle make and year.

UNINSTALLING - RETURNING TO STOCK

What does this mean? “Uninstalling the Tune” and “Returning to Stock” are different ways to describe the same thing: writing the original (stock) information to the engine computer so it uses the settings that it used before you installed your GT Platinum. Doing this also sends a signal to the GT Platinum to let it know that it is no longer installed on a vehicle, which will allow you to install the tune at a later time. The GT Platinum will not allow you to install if the tune has already been installed on a vehicle.

When to Return to Stock You should return to stock in ALL of the following situations:

• EVERY TIME you take your vehicle in for any type of service. It is a very common practice for the engine computer to be “flashed” (re-programmed) during all types of service, even routine maintenance. If the tune from the GT Platinum is still installed when the engine computer is flashed, it can cause problems when you want to use your GT Platinum in the future.

• If you want to install the GT Platinum on a different vehicle. For instanceIf you have a second vehicle and want to try the GT Platinum on it. The GT Platinum can only be used on one vehicle at a time.

If you want to let a friend try the GT Platinum.

If you have decided to sell the GT Platinum to someone else.

• If the battery is having problems and could possibly go dead. Make sure to connect a battery charger while returning to stock to prevent any complications that can be caused by interrupting the GT Platinum while it is returning your vehicle to stock.

• If you need to disconnect the battery for any reason.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not return your vehicle to stock, you may have to call in to technical support to have your GT Platinum reset. There is a mandatory fee for this service.

40417 GT PLATINUM

How to Return to Stock There are two ways to return your vehicle to stock.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Both methods are very similar to installing the tune to your vehicle, so you should make the same preparations and take the same precautions. This means choosing a good time and place, making sure the battery is charged, pulling fuses (if necessary), disconnecting aftermarket electronics, etc.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are certain times when disconnecting or interrupting power to the GT Platinum can interfere with the engine computer programming process. If the engine write is interrupted, the programming on your engine computer can be corrupted. This can cause your vehicle not to start and possibly even

require the ECM to be replaced.

This illustration is an example of one of the times during the uninstallation when it is vital that the power is not interrupted and the tuner is not disconnected from the vehicle.

Note: There may be times when our technical support team will instruct you to disconnect the tuner even though the screen tells you not to unplug.

Uninstall Download1. Choose the Uninstall Download option from the Main Menu.2. Follow the instructions shown on the GT Platinum screen.3. When the GT Platinum gives you a message that the tune has been removed, disconnect the GT Platinum from your vehicle.4. Check to make sure the tune has been removed from your vehicle.5. Test your vehicle to make sure that it starts. If not, check the troubleshooting FAQ.

If this option is not listed on the Main Menu, use the option described on the next page.

UNINSTALLING - RETURNING TO STOCK

What if I Don’t Return to Stock? Here are some common examples:

• If you take your vehicle in for service, they will “flash” the engine computer. Even if you ask them not to, any dealer or shop will do this automatically – it is standard procedure for any vehicle they see and they really can’t help themselves from following this ingrained habit. What they are doing is actually writing an updated file over any information that is currently saved in your engine computer. This includes the tune from your GT Platinum, so basically the tune is no longer installed and you will not be able to use the power level set-tings or any other options – but the GT Platinum doesn’t know that, it still thinks that the tune is saved to your engine computer. Unless you go through the uninstall process with your GT Platinum, it will still show as installed and will not allow you reload the tune on your vehicle or on any other vehicle. The only way to resolve this problem is to contact technical support and have the GT Platinum reset – there is a mandatory fee for this service.

• If you sell or trade-in your vehicle you will not be able to install your GT Platinum on another one without calling technical support to have the GT Platinum reset. For more information on Reset Fees, visit our website at www.bullydog.com

• If you sell the GT Platinum to another person without uninstalling the tune from your vehicle first, they will not be able to use it. You will probably have negative consequences like an upset buyer, having to refund the purchase price or cover the cost of a reset, a negative review, and bad karma.

By now, you may have noticed a pattern: if you do not return your vehicle to stock and something happens to your engine computer, you will need to call and pay the fee in order to have the GT Platinum reset.

How Do I Know if the GT Platinum is (Still) Installed? There are two ways to check if the tune is currently installed:

Main Screen1. Look at the lower right corner of the main display screen.

Show Settings Screen1. Go to the Main Menu.

2. Scroll down.

3. Choose Show Settings.

4. Check to see what the GT Platinum shows next to “Download”.

5. If it shows:

• Installed – the tune is still loaded on the engine computer.

• Not Installed – the tune has been uninstalled and the vehicle is returned to stock.

• Recovery – there is a problem and you should contact technical support.
